My favorite menu item is the Tamale. They have several different kinds, personally I like the cheese tamale best. It is stuffed with cheese, carrots, and potatoes. Really, everything I have tried there I have liked. Their menu features many delicious vegetarian options as well as a wide variety of meat options.

Every Mexican place in this part of Brooklyn seems to be slightly different: this one is a little more Tex-Mex than some of the competition with platters featuring hearty refried beans. The soft tacos, with simple fillings like pork al pastor and spicy beef are recomended, as well as platters like the green chile pipian chicken; the huaraches ("sandals," toppings mounded on a thick open tortilla) are a distictive offering.

great, authentic, unpretentious mexican food. really good tacos (so cheap!) especially the carne asada and pastor (roast pork). my friend had the chicken enchilada with mole and loved it. great service: quick but laid back--you can relax and enjoy your food and beer without being rushed. must try the burritos and chalupas next time. one of my new favorite spots.
